We know that Arthur has the question in his brain patterns because Marvin
saw it there. Marvin may have also seen it in Trilliums brain pattern. It could
not be "What is 6 times 9" because if it was then Arthur would know both the
question and the answer at the same time (quite impossible).

Marvin must then know both the question and the answer. Perhaps that is what
gave him his unique personality.
